Subway Perspectives

Subway perspective is a show based on views from platforms of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York City. Drawing from a graphic design foundation, Christopher Wallace attempts to flatten the world around him in order to explore the process of seeing. Closing one eye he investigates the two dimensional space that emerges from our three dimensional world, and captures his vision with single focused lens.
Christopher Wallace plays the foregrounds in his images against backgrounds blurring the constructs of perspective. He looks to have his viewers describe depths as altitudes, and altitudes as depths. Mixing the two constructs into an ambiguous surrealistic space, and promoting a return to a flat world.
